Mrs. Cai lived in Cao Ang's mansion for several days to serve Cao Ang's food and daily life. Huang Yueying looked for Mrs. Cai several times. He heard that Mrs. Cai went to Cao Ang's mansion and felt embarrassed and dared not go.

However, Zhang Lu had already decided to break up with Cao Ang. When Liu Bei's letter arrived, everything was ready. Zhang Lu issued a proclamation to angrily scold Cao Ang.

The manifesto was scattered in Hanzhong, Xiliang, Yizhou, and Jingnan, and all the propaganda were intercepted to the Central Plains.

Cao Ang smiled and looked at the manifesto handed over by the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, "Yuan Zhi, I think there are incompetent patriots under Zhang Lu's command."

Xu Shu also smiled and said, "It is only this manifesto that we know that there are no counselors under Zhang Lu's command. They are full of anger, but there are no words of pearls."

Cao Ang said: "How are the food, grass and supplies used by the army now ready?"

Xu Shu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, lord, this is the time when the wheat is ripe, and the army is ready for everything."

Cao Ang nodded, "I am at ease when dispatching Yuanzhi. I will send a letter with Xingba to make him be careful about Sun Quan. Now Zhang Lu is going to Liu Bei for help, so he must be careful of various moves."

"No!" Xu Shu bowed and retreated.

"An Rui, you go and call Han Sheng in person."

"promise!"

Cao Ang drew out paintings and waited for Huang Zhong to come to worship. Although there were no good planners in Hanzhong, there were many generals who could fight!

Soon after, Huang Zhong came in, "Greetings to the lord!"

Cao Angxu helped him, waved his hand, and signaled Huang Zhong to sit down.

"If Han Sheng is asked to attack Hanzhong, how will Han Sheng attack him?"

Huang Zhong pondered and said, "I thought, I should first attack the Han River and attack Gucheng quickly!"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "If Han is promoted to vanguard, how many elites can go down to Gucheng?"

Huang Zhong pondered: "If you have five thousand elite soldiers and have all the crossbows and arrows, you must not be able to use short blades."

Cao Ang waved his hand and signaled Huang Zhong to step forward.

Huang Zhong hurriedly got to the front of a few cases.

"I have already made people find out that Zhang Lu has four generals, named Yang Bai, Zhang Wei, Yang Ang, Zhang Ren. Yang Bai is the younger brother of Yang Song, Zhang Wei is the younger brother of Zhang Lu, and Yang Song is the younger brother of Zhang Lu. This man loves money and has no strategy, but another adviser Yan Pu is quite strategic."

Huang Zhong nodded, indicating that he knew all these relationships.

Cao Ang said again: "Among the four generals, Zhang Ren is skilled in martial arts, and may not be inferior to Wen Zhongye, but you should be more careful."

"In this way, can Han Sheng still break through Gucheng with five thousand elite troops?"

Huang Zhong pondered for a while and weighed the pros and cons: "Only five thousand elites are needed, I will definitely be able to capture Gucheng for the Lord!"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "It's so good. Since Han Sheng has this determination, I will join you with five thousand elite soldiers, equipment and armies, and take my order to go to the Hyogo to take it."

Huang Zhong agreed loudly and left.

Cao Ang looked at the map and felt that it was a bit unsafe, so he asked someone to call Wei Yan.

But Wei Yan was guarding Hanshoucheng. When he heard Cao Ang's call, he was overjoyed and hurried to Xiangyang City.

In a day, Wei Yan arrived.

"Wei Yan, pay homage to the lord!"

At that time, Cao Ang was having a meal when he heard Wei Yan coming and said with a smile: "Wen Chang should have not had a meal yet, come and share it with me."

Wei Yan was hungry in his stomach. When he heard Cao Ang's words, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you lord."

Cao Ang waved his hand, and the maid immediately went down to bring some food, wine and meat on Cao Ang's lower desk.

When the two of them had enough food, Cao Ang sent someone to tea.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Wu Chang knows what I call you?"

Wei Yan smiled and said, "The Lord must be trying to make me attack Hanzhong!"

Cao Ang smiled and shook his head, facing Wei Yan's shocked gaze, Cao Ang said in a narrow voice: "I want you to attack Jingnan!"

Wei Yan was surprised, "Jingnan?"

Cao Ang nodded, "Now Zhang Lu is already connected with Liu Bei. Whether Liu Bei wants to gain profit from chaos or help Zhang Lu attack our army, his army must go north from Wuling County."

"When Liu Bei's army moved, you led an army to attack Wuling."

Wei Yan pondered for a while and smiled bitterly: "Lord, Wuling is as heavy as Liu Bei, and I am the only one, so it is difficult to capture..."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "I know that it is difficult for you to attack Wuling by yourself. I did not teach you to seize Wuling, but to surround Wei and save Zhao."

Wei Yan was stunned and turned to laugh and said, "If so, Wei Yanding would not be disappointed if he did."

Cao Ang waved his hand, "Don't be anxious. If this matter is so easy, what's the use of me? You lead the army to attack Wuling. If it is very urgent, Liu Bei must lead the army back to aid. At that time, Liu Bei could also attack Hanshou."

Wei Yan was shocked, and he didn't even think of this for a moment.

"Therefore, long writing needs to be weighed," Cao Ang said seriously, "If the Han Dynasty's life is lost due to Wuling, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

"Master, don't worry, Wei Yanding has done this matter properly!"

Cao Ang nodded and signaled Wei Yan to go. There were eight thousand troops in Hanshou City. Wei Yan knew how powerful his combat power was. He didn't need to force the arrangements. Wei Yan guessed it by himself.

Cao Ang wrote another letter in his hand, and ordered the soldiers to send it to Ling Tong.

After receiving Cao Ang's letter, Ling Tong hurriedly dispatched soldiers. His six thousand elite soldiers were divided into two thousand to the southwest of Dongting Lake, and ordered two thousand soldiers to station in the southeast to guard against Liu Bei.

However, Huang Zhong selected 5,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were good at climbing and could drive hard bows. Huang Zhong gathered these 5,000 people to the schoolyard and said in a deep voice: "The lord has been raising the soldiers for a long time. Now I need to die equally. Can you wish?"

The soldiers often respect Huang Zhong, and because Cao Ang treated him well, they all shouted loudly: "I wish to die for the lord!"

Huang Zhong held Cao Ang's order and ordered the soldiers to choose the military armor and follow the Han River to Gucheng.

However, Zhang Lu knew that as soon as his letter was released, Cao Ang decided to send troops to attack, so he hurriedly ordered Yang Ang and Yang Bai to lead tens of troops to station Gucheng and Zhang Ren to lead five thousand troops to station Jigu to prevent Zhang He.

However, it was said that the Ling Tongmao army dispatched for Sun Quan to explore. Sun Quan hurriedly ordered Jiangdongwei to visit Jingnan. In a few days, he learned that Zhang Wei had come to Jingnan. After that, according to the news that Zhang Lu had turned against Cao Ang, Sun Quan knew that Zhang Wei was coming to ask for help.

Sun Quan hurriedly asked someone to call Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to discuss matters.

Zhang Zhao was not away, so he only waited for Zhou Yu. A little later, Zhou Yu arrived and the two came to pay homage to Sun Quan.

"Meet the lord."

Sun Quan nodded, "Gongjin, Zibu, Cao Ang's army is moving now, what do you and the other two have?"

Zhou Yu pondered: "Now that Zhang Lu and Cao Ang turned against each other, it must be that Cao Ang wanted to attack Zhang Lu, but he was afraid that Wujiangdong would attack secretly, so he made such a move."

Zhang Zhao nodded. He was not very familiar with military affairs, but felt that what Zhou Yu said made sense.

Sun Quan hurriedly asked, "Can I benefit from my Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu pondered: "Hanzhong is far from Jiangdong, so I'm afraid it's difficult."

Sun Quan also talked about Zhang Wei's journey to Jingnan.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, "That's true. I said how Zhang Lu dared to issue a manifesto and scold Cao Ang angrily. It turned out that he had connected Liu Bei."

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Liu Bei is a man of no righteousness. The former steals my Jianchang, which is a deep hatred!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, now you can take Jianchang back."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and knew that Zhou Yu was definitely not aimless, so he hurriedly said, "What's the plan for Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "After Zhang Lu formed Liu Bei, Liu Bei would definitely send troops to Hanzhong to help. At that time, the lord could send a general to attack Jianchang at night. If there was no large army in Jingnan, Jianchang would be like an isolated city. You only need to send more troops, no matter who guards it, you can also get out!"

Sun Quan was overjoyed: "Gongjin's plan is very good, and at this time, he will follow Gongjin's plan!"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "Lord wants to use which general this time?"

Sun Quan said: "Is Zibu recommended?"

Zhang Zhao pondered and said, "What if I would rather let Kou Feng go?"

Sun Quan said unhappily: "The former is that he lost his troops and generals, which led to my loss of Jianchang. If he is allowed to command the army again, wouldn't it be a reward or punishment? How can the generals be convinced?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "Kou Feng's wisdom and courage are not comparable to ordinary generals. The former lost the city and was in the situation. He was helpless. This time, it would be better to give him the opportunity to make his general lose his merits. After all, Cao Ang is now in great power, and the lord should gather more brave generals under his command."

Sun Quan nodded, but what Zhang Zhao said was not bad.

"Come, go and call Kou Feng."

"Here!"

Not long after, the gang arrived, and Sun Quan said, "Bo Ci, are you willing to sacrifice your merits?"

Kou Feng immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to die for the lord!"

Sun Quan looked satisfied and immediately said, "Now the general of Jianchang is still Zhang Fei. I will be your soldiers of 7,000. Can you be defeated?"

Kou Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, lord, I will definitely be able to take Jianchang back. If not, Kou Feng apologized for his death!"

Sun Quan was overjoyed: "Good, this plan is Gongjin's thoughts. You can discuss the important points with Gongjin."

"promise!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, and all three of them bowed and retreated.

However, Cao Ang was afraid that Han Sheng would be in trouble, so he called Wenpeng to Xiangyang.

Wen Pin saw that the troops and horses from all directions were moved, and he was anxious. When he heard Cao Ang's call, he quickly came to Xiangyang.
